“Can’t wait for this!” another shared via X.
Someone else on X predicted, “Going to win the Oscar for best picture!”
Yet another commented, “I think the acting should be terrific. Cage is good and working with Bale should help take him to another level. Christian Bale is one of the best actors of our generation.”
